Student-Athlete Advisory Committee

The student-athlete advisory committee (SAAC) is a group
gathered to facilitate communication between the student-athletes
and Lake Erie College Athletic Department. This is
accomplished by providing a forum of members from each varsity team
to discuss issues of concern regarding athletic department policies
and procedures as well as NCAA regulations. The goal of the
committee is to build a sense of community within the athletics
department involving all athletic teams. Other objectives
include promoting athletics programs on campus as well as within
the local community and engaging in community service activities to
put together ample opportunities for varsity teams to join in
projects.

To become a member of SAAC, you must be on a Lake Erie College
varsity roster and attend bi-weekly meetings. Any number of
student-athletes from one team are allowed to attend, and
encouraged to do so.
